Marcus Thomas, Shaka Henry win in Barbados

Marcus Thomas W10 Ricardo Kellman... Marcus Thomas, moving up in weight to light heavyweight and defeated Ricardo Kellman over ten rounds by a unanimous decision. During the early rounds of the fight Thomas found out early that he could not match Kellman in terms of power punches, so he used the jab effectively to stay on the outside. Thomas, has fought at 168 and says he is a natural middleweight. He now has a listed record of 10-1 compared to 5-5 for Kellman. source: the barbados advocate

Christopher Henry TKO2 Barrington Cambridge... In a disgraceful mismatch that should never have been allowed, Christopher "Shaka" Henry made light work of Guyana's Barrington Cambridge who competed in the 1980 Olympics (yes, 1980).  Henry stepped up the tempo in the second round and a flurry of punches found their mark with the final blow a left hook to the head flooring Cambridge, who has to be at least in his mid-40s. Poor Cambridge never got up and was taken out of the ring by the stretcher and went off to the hospital. Cambridge's last published fight was in 1995 when he lost to Dillon Carew, hardly a world-beater himself. Henry is a respectable junior middleweight/ welterweight opponent who fights a very tough schedule. He got a win against Cambridge, but did he really have to stoop this low? source: the barbados advocate
